| Like the Orion Nebula, the Trifid Nebula is a "stellar nursery" -- a region of active star formation. It is located in Sagittarius, which never gets too high in the sky for most US residents -- in my area it is entirely drowned out by local light pollution, and I have never seen it through the eyepiece. |
